Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
An unexpectedly rich exploration of family bonds, blood rituals and the oftentimes zombie-like desire to assume the roles proscribed to each of us, played out with a sharp undertow of political allegory and darkly comic sensibility.

fresh:
Unfolding in an impoverished neighborhood in Mexico City, this disturbing debut paints social decay with bold, elegant strokes and dizzying camera angles.

fresh:
Grau's script is intelligent, and it has something to say about family and social dysfunction. You just might want to skip meat for a few days.

fresh:
Like zombie auteur George Romero at his best, Grau locks his sights on his social commentary of choice and goes after it with the zeal of a 19-year-old cannibal girl sinking an ax into the skull of her next meal.

fresh:
Grau effectively mixes wry, bloody, deadpan gags, family drama, and stomach-churning violence.
